1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

Tick-borne encephalitis virus (TBEV) belongs to the genus IMPORTANCE: Tick-borne encephalitis virus is a neuroinvasive pathogen that causes severe neurologic disease, significantly affecting patients' quality of life. No specific antiviral treatment is available for tick-borne encephalitis caused by virus multiplication in the brain. The delivery of drugs to the brain via peripheral administration is often obstructed by the blood-brain barrier. To develop targeted antiviral therapies for brain infections, we engineered recombinant antibodies capable of crossing the blood-brain barrier via brain-targeted ligands. These antibodies exhibited permeability across the blood-brain barrier in both
